The Pit is a problem

So I have zero luck with farming/finding useful GA Items in this game. I have gone out of my way (short of using a cookie cutter build) to focus my Boards and gear to get as much Damage as I can on my Barb (55k and 40% crit chance with 1.2k% crit damage) while maintaining some HP (45k). I have cleared to T31 and am stuck there even after masterworking everything I have to through the first tier mats. I do not think many gamers will even try as much as I have let alone as hard as most YouTubers will.
Seems to me Getting the Neathiron mats should be attainable easily enough for 90%+ of the community to get with little difficulty. Challenge? Sure but it should not require the efforts currently necessary to reach that point. Everything beyond that point is for personal challenge/fun and there could/should be a difficulty spike after that point.
